Does anyone know how to mod the raws so this is possible? I don't need a step by step guide or anything, just a "it's handled by this part of this file" thing.

Edit: Never mind, I got it I think. For anyone else who wants it, it seems to be in inorganic_metal and the relevant tag is [ITEMS_WEAPON]

[LoneJedi7]

go into the metagloss file for your metal ores, find gold, and add the [WEAPON] tag to gold.  that worked in the old version, should in 31.01.

If you're going to do this, increase the Impact Elasticity higher. A lot higher. From about 600 to a bit greater than lead actually [I have mine around 4000]. Or else you're going to be finding foreigners with gold warhammers going to town on your populace.

Strange, I would've though gold would have a high elasticity already. It's pretty soft. Or am I misunderstanding exactly what this is?

[SkyRender]

 Impact Elasticity determines (part of) how hard a weapon hits.  The more inelastic, the less area on the target gets affected by the blow.  Since gold is highly elastic in nature, this means it will do a lot more area of damage than it should.

What determines what material invaders will use in their weapons now anyway? In the old version it was based off damage value + whether or not the entity had METAL_PREF, but it's not so simple anymore...

Or will they simply choose randomly from every not-deep weaponable metal in the raws?

...or you could not mod this and then arm your military with golden hammers..

which is actually pretty Dwarfy, imo.

or you could put a custom reaction in with the result in golden weapons. guarantees that nobody else will have them
